@tnewsSPAMMENOT: "Shirley, another round for the house please.
Well, guess I shoulda listened to the folks who bet a few beers the
last time, when I mentioned that the clutch cable was a tad stiff. It's
somewhat less stiff now after I lubricated it but whoever said that it
may be a good idea to lubricate the throttle cables also was bang on
the money.
Unfortunately they did look like it would be a waste of some decent oil
to to so, and that was confirmed when the opening cable snapped a
couple of days ago. Of course that was the day that I wanted to take
the FXD to work as my commuter hack was playing up again...
So, what's the recommendation - just get another set of OEM cables?
Given the state of the cables in general I was going to swap out both
throttle cables (obviously) and the clutch cable - if I've got to
unhook the cable to finally fit the Easyclutch that's been cluttering
up my desk for months, I may as well put in a new cable, too.
Boy am I glad that winter is here - or what us soft Brits think is
winter, it's positively balmy here if you're Canadian :) - so all that
wrenching doesn't cut too much into the riding time. Just want to get
the bike back on the road for the few nice days we'll have in winter,
and properly for spring when you can start riding bikes again without
any form of wind protection...

	If you still have stock handlebars stock cables are inexpensive & easy
to change.  Of course custom cables are just as easy to change if you need
longer or want something decorative.  If you use braided stainless I recommend
the ones with clear covers to keep the braid from eatin' paint & parts.
	Here in the U.S. we have a lube called "Bike Aid" found at motorcycle &
bicycle shops that keeps cables smooth for years.  You might see if it's
available in the U.K. & lube all cables before you put 'em on the first time.

Thanks for the lube recommendation - I've got to visit the in-laws for
Thanksgiving anyway so I'd hope that a shop in Daytona beach will stock
this stuff...

	Well, if you're gonna be in Daytona I'm *sure* you can find some "Bike
Aid", but if you have any difficulty let me know & I'll give you some.  I live
in Ormond Beach.......Daytona's better end.......8^)  Or, if you just want a
beer come on by.  With enough notice I might be able to introduce you to one or
two Asshole's.

Sounds like a nice break - I'm flying out Wednesday, returning Monday
as I couldn't afford to take more time off work...
That can have its advantages - my father-in-law's driving occasionally
works along the lines of "I've got insurance, so what's the problem?"

Sadly no.  In through Dulles this time.  Arriving 11:28 on 17th and 
flying back the following Saturday at 18:05.
Still, no fixed plans at the moment.  Just the usual family duties to 
attend to.

Slept there myself last night, as a matter of fact. :)
Maybe I should just fill the room with matresses instead
of furniture.
Hey, I was always fine with letting any of you dirt-balls sleeping
on my couch, floor, garage, etc. But Donna wasn't comfortable
when wives came over without a guest room.
Bear, you still get the sofa.

To be honest, I slept on the sofa because I had serious
doubts about my ability to climb the stairs and make it
to the bedroom.
